The 2016 United States Senate election in Oregon was held November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Oregon, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Democratic Party primary Candidates Declared Kevin Stine, Medford City Councilor Paul Weaver, retired locomotive engineer Ron Wyden, incumbent U.S. Senator
Declined Peter DeFazio, U.S. Representative
